Forskning

Ghosh's current project is on the literature that is emerging from Kashmir in the last five to ten years that represents the crisis in Kashmir in its varied manifestations. Her research aims to focus on Kashmir as a conflict zone and contentious space and explores what happens to postcolonial identity in a space of exception specifically on the issues of resistance, gender, agency, exile and violence.

She is also co-editing an anthology on Tagore and Yeats in a postcolonial reenvisioning that covers topics of nationalism, masculinity, translation, orientalism and cultural hybridity.

Ghosh edits a transcultural literary journal titled, Cerebration that caters to bridging the gap between academia and non-academic circles. She is also the assocaite editor of Feminist Modernist Studies, by Routledge.
